King James Version
After this,
Paul left
Athens and went
to Corinth .
After these
things
Paul departed
from
Athens ,
and came
to Corinth ;
There
he
found a Jew named Aquila, a
native
of
Pontus, who
had
recently
come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered
all the
Jews to leave
Rome .
Paul
went
to
visit
them ,
And
found a certain
Jew named Aquila, born
in
Pontus, lately
come from Italy ,
with his wife Priscilla ;
(
because that
Claudius had commanded
all Jews to depart
from
Rome :)
and
came
unto
them .
and he stayed
and
worked
with them because
they were tentmakers by
trade,
just
as
he
was
.
And because
he was
of
the
same
craft,
he
abode
with them ,
and
wrought:
for
by
their
occupation
they were tentmakers.
Every
Sabbath
he reasoned in the synagogue, trying
to
persuade
Jews and Greeks alike
.
And
he reasoned in the synagogue every
sabbath
, and
persuaded
the
Jews and the
Greeks.
And when Silas and Timothy
came
down
from Macedonia, Paul devoted
himself
fully
to
the word
, testifying
to the Jews that Jesus is
the
Christ.
And when Silas and Timotheus
were
come
from Macedonia, Paul was
pressed
in
the spirit
, and
testified
to the Jews that Jesus was
Christ.
But
when they opposed and insulted
him
, he shook out
his garments
and told
them, “
Your blood be on
your own heads !
I am innocent
of
it.
From now
on
I will go to
the Gentiles. ”
And
when they opposed themselves,
and blasphemed
, he shook his raiment,
and said
unto
them, Your blood be upon
your own heads ;
I am clean;
from henceforth
I will go unto
the Gentiles.
So
Paul
left
the
synagogue
and went
next
door
to
the
house of
Titus
Justus, a
worshiper
of
God.
And he
departed
thence,
and
entered
into
a
certain
man's
house ,
named
Justus, one
that
worshipped
God ,
whose
house
joined
hard
to
the
synagogue
.
Crispus, the synagogue leader
, and
his
whole
household
believed in
the Lord .
And many of the Corinthians who
heard
the
message
believed and were baptized.
And
Crispus, the chief
ruler
of
the
synagogue, believed on
the Lord with
all
his
house;

and were baptized.
One
night
the Lord spoke
to Paul in a vision :
“Do
not
be afraid ;
keep
on
speaking;
do
not be
silent.
Then
spake
the Lord to Paul in the
night
by
a vision ,
Be not
afraid ,
but
speak,
and
hold
not thy
peace:
For I am with you
and no one
will
lay
a
hand
on you,
because
I have many
people in this city. ”
For I am with thee,
and no man
shall
set
on thee
to
hurt
thee:
for
I have much
people in this city.
So
Paul
stayed
for
a year and a
half
, teaching the word of God among the
Corinthians
.
And
he
continued
there
a year and six
months
, teaching the word of God among them
.
While
Gallio was proconsul
of Achaia, the Jews coordinated
an
attack
on
Paul and brought him before
the judgment seat .
And
when
Gallio was the
deputy
of Achaia, the Jews made
insurrection
with
one
accord
against
Paul ,
and brought him to
the judgment seat ,
“
This man
is
persuading
the
people
to worship God in
ways
contrary to the law ,”
they
said
.
Saying,
This fellow
persuadeth
men
to worship God contrary to the law.
But
just
as
Paul was about to speak
, Gallio told
the Jews, “
If this
matter
involved
a wrongdoing
or vicious
crime
, O Jews, it
would be
reasonable
for
me
to
hear
your
complaint.
And
when
Paul was now
about to open
his
mouth
, Gallio said
unto
the Jews, If it
were
a matter
of
wrong
or wicked
lewdness
, O ye
Jews, reason
would that
I
should
bear
with
you:
But since
it is
a dispute
about
words and names and your own
law, settle
it yourselves.
I refuse
to
be a
judge of such things
. ”
But if
it be
a question
of
words and names ,
and of
your law, look
ye
to
it ;
for
I will
be no
judge of such matters
.
And he drove
them away
from the judgment seat.
And he drave
them from the judgment seat.
At
this,
the crowd
seized
Sosthenes the synagogue leader
and beat him in
front
of
the judgment seat. But
none of this
was
of
concern
to
Gallio
.
Then
all
the Greeks
took
Sosthenes ,
the chief
ruler
of
the
synagogue ,
and beat him before
the judgment seat. And
Gallio
cared
for
none of those
things
.
Paul remained
in
Corinth
for
quite
some
time
before
saying
goodbye
to
the
brothers.
He
had
his
head
shaved
in
Cenchrea
to
keep
a vow
he
had
made
, and then he
sailed for
Syria, accompanied
by
Priscilla and Aquila.
And
Paul after
this
tarried
there
yet
a good
while
, and then took
his
leave
of
the
brethren,
and
sailed thence
into
Syria, and
with
him
Priscilla and Aquila ;
having
shorn
his
head
in
Cenchrea:
for
he
had
a
vow
.
When
they
reached
Ephesus, Paul
parted
ways
with
Priscilla
and Aquila.
He himself went
into the synagogue there
and reasoned with the Jews.
And
he
came
to
Ephesus, and left
them
there:
but
he himself entered
into the synagogue ,
and reasoned with the Jews.
When they asked
him to stay
for
a
while
longer, he declined.
When they desired
him to tarry
longer time
with
them
, he consented
not;
But as
he
left
, he
said
, “
I will come
back
to
you if God is
willing
. ”
And he set
sail
from Ephesus.
But bade
them
farewell
, saying
, I must
by
all
means
keep
this
feast
that
cometh
in
Jerusalem:
but
I
will return
again
unto
you ,
if God will
. And he sailed
from Ephesus.
When Paul
had landed at Caesarea, he
went
up and greeted
the church at
Jerusalem.
Then
he went down to Antioch.
And
when he
had landed at Caesarea, and
gone
up ,
and saluted
the church ,
he went down to Antioch.
After Paul
had spent some time in
Antioch
, he traveled
from
place
to
place
throughout
the region
of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
And
after he
had spent some time there
, he departed,
and
went
over
all
the country
of Galatia and Phrygia in
order
, strengthening all the disciples.
Meanwhile
a Jew named Apollos, a
native
of
Alexandria, came
to
Ephesus.
He
was
an eloquent man, well
versed
in the Scriptures.
And
a certain
Jew named Apollos, born
at
Alexandria, an eloquent man, and
mighty
in the scriptures ,
came
to
Ephesus
.
He
had
been
instructed in the way of the Lord and was
fervent in spirit .
He spoke
and taught accurately
about
Jesus
, though
he
knew
only the baptism of John.
This
man
was
instructed in the way of the Lord ;
and being
fervent in the
spirit ,
he spake
and taught diligently
the
things
of
the
Lord
, knowing
only the baptism of John.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue .
When Priscilla
and
Aquila heard him
, they took him in
and explained
to
him the way of God more accurately
.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue :
whom
when Aquila and
Priscilla
had
heard, they took him unto
them,
and expounded
unto
him the way of God more perfectly
.
When Apollos
resolved
to
cross
over
to Achaia, the brothers
encouraged
him
and
wrote to
the disciples there
to welcome
him .
On
his
arrival
, he was a
great
help
to
those
who
by
grace
had believed .
And
when he
was
disposed
to pass
into
Achaia, the brethren
wrote ,
exhorting
the disciples to receive
him :
who
, when
he was come,
helped
them
much
which
had believed through
grace:
For he powerfully
refuted
the Jews in
public
debate
, proving
from
the Scriptures that Jesus is
the
Christ.
For he mightily
convinced
the Jews, and
that
publickly,
shewing
by
the scriptures that Jesus was
Christ.
